7/14 lunar calendar, the day on which chinese believe the gate of hell will wide open. that’s why during this month, many people offer incense / burn offerings to wandering spirits
what happen on 811 is really too much for all to bear. the bloody photo of a young female first aider who was shot in the eye will sure be deeply imprinted in all HKer’s heart.
same day, tear gas and rubber bullets fired into subway station; police again befriend triad members, turn a blind eye, while keep arresting or even harassing esp. female; firing at short distance at protesters who were coming up escalators from a subway station, keep beating them and push them down ; then a few very likely police officers caught read handed pretending to be protesters…
HK seems suddenly turned into another place in just 2 months. seems the veil is suddenly lifted so that all can see what has been going on for years.
certainly unbelievable to many. heart broken…
i can’t help visiting my dad and grandma at the cemetery the day after all these bloody events happened. tears of course, like many. yet i can strongly feel the assurance and love from all ancestors during this difficult times.
the smile of my dad on the photo reminds me again of how to remain positive even during very challenging period.
at the time writing, airport has been occupied consecutively for 5 days. something rather unexpected. an alleged chinese police discovered and not allowed to leave for hours…
i watch with deep respect how seemingly fragile young female reporter being threatened / treated badly, cried, then quickly wiped off tears and continued to report…
it is this quality, the ability to accept and face fear, resilience, adherence to justice, courage, faith…. that we all need to develop and strengthen during this challenging period in order to continue this mission impossible
may all evil spirits be soothed, healed, transformed…
may all sentient beings in the upper, middle, lower world be blessed.
may we all be showered with divine love, wisdom, forgiveness, the will to do good…
Blessings be to all
